- Lightly spray the back side of a mini cupcake pan lightly with cooking spray.
- Roll pie crust out on a floured surface. Use rolling pin to straighten edges but do not over roll. Cut into 2 1/2" circles. Place circles on a flipped over mini pie tray. Make two indention's into each cup
- Bake for 11-13 minute till light brown.. Remove from oven and place on cooling tray. They should slide right off.

- Place the cream cheese, vanilla and maple extracts in the same bowl (no need to clean out) that was used to whip the cream and mix until creamy.

- Add mixture to piping bag and fill each of the individual tarts. Refrigerate tarts for 1 hour.
- ENJOY!!!!!
